Japan’s Metaplanet to raise $881M via global stock sale to buy more Bitcoin and boost its BTC balance sheet.
Japan’s Metaplanet has announced an international stock offering of $881 million to acquire additional Bitcoin.
The action demonstrates the company’s intention to turn into a Bitcoin-generating enterprise.
To Add More Bitcoin, MetaPlanet Is Pursuing $881 Million In Funding
According to its most recent announcement, Metaplanet intends to use the money from selling its foreign stock to purchase $881 million in Bitcoin.
Following a shareholder vote on September 1, 2025, the company will finalize an international offering to issue new shares.
To raise the number of authorized shares, the plan calls for changing the company’s articles of incorporation.
Additionally, it will guarantee that fundraising stays within the legal issuance limits.
According to the corporation, the stock sale will still occur within the current share allocations if the modification is rejected.
The company’s primary goal is to quickly raise money to increase its Bitcoin net asset value (NAV).
By doing this, Metaplanet hopes to raise the quantity of coins held per share and optimize the token return.
Its financial sheet would be strengthened, and the intrinsic value of its preferred shares would rise as a result.
Notably, Japan is struggling with a protracted drop in the yen value, mounting national debt, and extended negative real interest rates.
In light of this, the corporation has refocused its treasury strategy since May 2024 to give Bitcoin precedence over cash reserves.
The corporation intends to protect its reserves from yen devaluation by allocating JPY 123.8 billion ($881 million) from the planned issuance into the token purchases.
After recently acquiring Bitcoin, Metaplanet currently possesses 18,991 BTC.
An average price of $102,712 per coin is worth JPY 314.6 billion.
MetaPlanet Uses Bitcoin Income Model To Grow Its Business
Based on recent actions, the investing firm focuses on making money from Bitcoin.
Bitcoin does not produce a direct yield like conventional reserve assets do.
The company has been using derivatives markets to deal with this. In particular, they have done this by selling put options.
The corporation reported ¥1.9 billion in revenue from this operation in its Q2 FY2025 report.
Additionally, they intend to expand it further with ¥6.5 billion from the next issue.
This tactic establishes the company as a dynamic entity producing cryptocurrency revenue.
Additionally, a token yield of 25.4% year-to-date was stated by Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
The company just verified its fourth weekly purchase in a row.
Despite the token’s decline in price, Strategy added 3,081 BTC for $356.9 million.
Eric Trump’s optimistic forecasts for Bitcoin are reflected in these accumulating movements.
Trump said at a recent conference that he anticipates Bitcoin to hit $175,000 by the end of 2025, with a long-term goal of more than $1 million.
According to the token’s treasury rankings, Metaplanet is attempting to surpass Bullish and Riot Platforms with its anticipated $881 million fundraising.
More significantly, it draws attention to the growing trend of publicly traded companies adopting Bitcoin.
